Hate to break the bad news to you, but it's going to happen here.
The U.S. Government (and the U.K.) has been doing bad things for decades, mainly through ineptitude. What would you say will be the catalyst for violent action?

I think poverty is a fine motivator, and we already have that.

As for Mr. Brand, he has as much credibility or less than I do. He's not lived in the real world for decades. Funny guy, not particularly credible though.
